Owner Jerry Lee Cantrell Credited For Five Decades of Quality, Service and Community Investment

(UCBJ) – Cantrell’s Furniture & Appliances (CFA) has been in business for half a century in DeKalb County. That is a milestone few businesses ever reach.

The Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) recently recognized the longtime Smithville business with its 50 Year Milestone Award, honoring sustained investment in the County.

The award recognizes both ongoing commitment under the leadership of owner Jerry Lee Cantrell and the store’s quality of service to customers and the community.

CCFA has been in business for half a century.

“Businesses that stand the test of time are the foundation of a strong community, and we are grateful for Cantrell’s Furniture’s continued investment in DeKalb County,” the Chamber said. “Please join us in congratulating Jerry Lee Cantrell on this remarkable achievement.”
